The Hamilton Factory produced wood type until 1985. That’s when Hamilton closed its doors because of the birth of the digital age. Now, the Hamilton Factory is home to a typeface museum and offers workshops. we have organized a bus trip to the museum and we want you to come! Get from behind your computer, get your hands dirty, and learn a bit about graphic design history. I can’t think of a better way to get to know other people in the industry then a four-hour bus trip to Two Rivers Wisconsin. There are only 6 spots available so sign up now! First come, first serve.
